Part 2 of 2

(Part 1 can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/knit-reveal-part-91818428)

This covers the animation of the knitting reveal effect.

This part covers using VOPs to manipulate the scale and orient attributes over time to slowly reveal the entire form.

Adding secondary knit curves to help add some variation and detail to the knitting area.

Creating spool or loom curves which give the look that the knitting is coming from a few points.

Layering procedural ripple deformation which is created in VOPs and maintains the same timing as everything else.

Layering vellum cloth physics, transferring the motion of a simulated mesh to the instance knit clumps.

Scene files are attached below.
